George R.R. Martin Finally Delivers Good News About 'The Winds of Winter' : Martin confirmed that he’s roughly 75% finished with the long-anticipated sixth installment. At the moment, he’s penned about 1,200 pages — with another 400 to 500 still to go.

He'll die before finishing it. Digits confirm.

And that's only the 6th book of the series, not the last one kek it's over

>>24522466 (OP)
who cares

Wait, fuck, he's actually going to finish it? That's stunning.

This is from three years ago you fucking retard. Stop reading AIslop websites

>>24522466 (OP)
Woah he’s three quarters done and only has 500 pages left? So he made zero progress in 3 years.

>>24522620
mmm i think it's the same news

>>24522542
> This is from three years ago you fucking retard. Stop reading AIslop websites
I couldn’t even find the original source because the slop site keeps linking itself for other slop articles when making statements. But apparently someone found the source on that page and it is indeed the 2022 call that’s presented as “news”.
The internet isn’t dead enough.

>>24522620
Be grateful that progress there hasn't been regression.
This might just start deleting his written work because he isn't happy with it.

>>24522629
We Anons are going to be the only actual humans left online, aren't we?

>>24522466 (OP)
He said the same thing before 3-4 years ago as the other anon mentioned. I remember back then I was able to believe his bullshit and realise that the book will be done by the end of 2023.
I really don't even care anymore. I think even if the book might release I won't be willing to buy it.

>>24522657
Georges work can only be appreciated by the thinking minority. Let the normies have their ai slop algos spew onto their screens.

>>24522641
He’s no doubt deleting hundreds of pages with threads that go nowhere. It’s not just revision now he’s run out of space to land the thing and the only thing that seems to unblock him is inventing 100 new cans of worms to open.
I think the biggest shock, should the book come out, will be the sheer denial from all the fans over how much of previous setup he just had to ditch. There will be endless threads that go nowhere. I mean there already are, but much more. So many “this might be important” moments that end up a wet fart.
He’s set himself up for failure too by waiting so long. Every nook and cranny is milked. Hundreds of outcomes charted and expected. Even a semi-canon (allegedly) ending onscreen. How the fuck could you write a big finish?

The only option I can think to do is rewrite the thing completely to try and blow people’s socks off. And he’s explicitly said he won’t, because it’s bad writing.

Another thing I might do is finish both books and have them released after I’m dead. He’s also denied he’d ever do that.

>>24522657
There’s definitely botposting here. I’ve seen it before AI was even a thing; my own words used at that. Honestly the profanity, use of no no words like nigger and general niche subjects and sarcasm might be the big barriers for bots and AI on imageboards.
Corporate internet is so regulated the normal posts look like botposts. “Self delete”? “Graped”? I’d rather kill myself than use those platforms.

>>24522466 (OP)
So he's 76. Not 80 yet... but still needs to write a dream of spring... i dont know, guys

>>24522466 (OP)
it's not going to happen
he wrote himself into a technical corner with too many POVs like straight up noob.
Sanderson will finish it for him when he's dead from the heart attack that he so desperately seeks.

>>24522668
Have a 1940s style anti-finish. "The Third Man" ending.

just play Elden Ring

>>24522466 (OP)
Is this the final season of GoT or was that retconned?
In any case, why should I read the books when I've already watched GoT?

He's gonna have Sanderson finish it?

>>24523668
No, he said Brando Sando sucks.

>>24522477
dubs checked

This has to be bait.

>>24522466 (OP)
>1,700 page novel
If you can't deliver quality, then quantity will have to do.

>>24522667
You know it's amazing to consider that ASOIAF has been around for so fucking long that art of it has transitioned from classic fantasy fiction-style illustrations and paintings to modern DeviantArt and Tumblr-style stuff. And it's still not fucking done.

>>24522620
2022: 500 pages.
500/3=167 pages a year.
167/365=0,457 pages a day.
1 page = ca 400 words.
0,4 of a page, let’s be generous, 200 words a day.

This screenshot is how much he’d have to write a day to be done now.

>>24522466 (OP)
He's said things like this before but it doesn't mean anything because of his writing process. He will literally get to the final chapter and decide or realize he needs to do a complete rewrite, and will do it. It's the whole gardener vs architect thing people keep brining up, typically when referencing his work. George is a gardener, he doesn't plan but plants seeds and follow them until fruition, if he doesn't like the fruit he starts over. I'm positive he's rewritten winds like three or four times already, it's why he released those early sample chapters, he knew they were going to look completely different once he was actually done (re)writing and the book is officially released.

he's having sex with that asian woman

>>24525218
Shae, the funny whore!

>>24522466 (OP)
It's kind of incredible that this jew managed to sit on his ass and do absolutely nothing with his series during the entirety of his 4-5 years of cultural relevance.

Winds is longer than Dance. Dance took 7 years. Winds is bigger so let's say it'd take 8 years to write. George would've finished around 2019. I believe he did but decided he didn't like it so he scrapped Winds and started over. Thus it'll take at least until 2027 for the second draft to finish. Maybe 2026 depending on how much he scrapped.

>>24522466 (OP)
This dude is a fucking weirdo. I tried reading Dance with Dragons, got like 1/3 of the way into it and it was just torture scene after torture scene so I cast it aside. Never reading his filth again, especially after finding out hes a deranged libtard and probably a satanist of some kind. Also, the series bottomed out after like the 3rd book.

>>24525905
He almost certainly has a scat fetish. Even if you want to be "realistic" about your wide-ranging fantasy fiction where people travel a lot, you don't need to mention shitting and going to the toilet as much as he does.

>>24525905
Why is the 80s satanic panic shit back? We used to laugh at that clip of the IT’S DOOORK SOIIIIDED bitch and wonder how americans could be real. Playing Ozzy backwards to hear the chants to Satan. All that crap seemed destined to die with boomers and now it’s back and LARPed hard by people pretending to be christian.

I get that it’s part of the whole overcompensating trad right thing but this is so embarrassing.

>>24522466 (OP)
Why is he writing a 1700 page book?

>>24527023
Martin is just gratuitous and it's fine not to like that sort of thing. You can be quite dark and cruel in your writing without being gratuitous. Some of the greatest depictions of evil in literature have no blood in them at all.

>>24527023
The Christian boomers were actually right the whole time

>>24522466 (OP)
>14 years later
>still only 75%
He's going to drop dead before he finishes this one, yet alone the entire series.

>>24527023
Blame the pizzagate era, once people got a glimpse into what the ruling class were getting up to, Satanism was back on the menu.

>>24527023
The oligarchy is just being much more blatant about it. I'm not even Christian but once you notice it it's everywhere (and I would know, I live in Francistan). The people ruling us are straight perverts (look up Macron and his "wife", and the art they commission). Also look into what the freemasons actually believe

>>24522504
this retarded ass article is referencing a video from 2022 so no, still no real, recent updates. if he was actually 75% done in 2022 he'd most likely be finished now

tldr the fat man lied again

>>24522466 (OP)
can't we get his doordash driver to sprinkle in a little coke, that'll speed it up right?

>>24522620
>trooning out the news

>>24527348
He's so fat and old that doing coke would probably kill him at this point.

>>24525202
>I'm positive he's rewritten winds like three or four times already
The fat man is way too lazy for this.

>>24527366
That would at least put GRRM fans out of their misery, something that anyone who talks to them would consider a mercy at this point

> Good News I'm almost done with the book
> Bad news there's still one more book to go

>>24522466 (OP)
he is fat

>>24527393
nah he's talked about his writing process. And It's completely within character for him to scrap the whole book and start again. People call him lazy but he's constantly working and releasing books, tv shows, movies, games, book stores, theaters, train companies. He just hasn't released Winds and Dream.

>>24522477
Well can't argue with digits, it's ogre.

>>24522477
Gotta check those digits.
